Biography

In the face of difficulties, pain, changes, struggles, and mental health issues, it is my firm belief that all of us need to be heard, first and foremost. Being heard allows us to gain that wider perspective and be open to learning new ways to meet our challenges head-on and come through as the person we want to be.

“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements which seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.” Psychologist Carl Rogers

With an interest in client-centered, narrative, internal family systems, and relational-cultural approaches, my goal as a therapist is to really hear you without judgment or agenda, and offer the tools and support you need to heal and create the life YOU want. I have a particular interest in helping people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, LGBTQ+ issues, faith crisis, and religious trauma.

I will graduate with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University in December of 2024, and am currently working as a CMHC intern with Nichole Rammell, LCSW as my supervisor. I’ve been married for seventeen years and have four children. Time in nature is my jam as is reading and writing, playing piano and singing, playing video games, paddleboarding, watercolor painting, playing violin, learning to speak Welsh, embroidery, and archery. I’m up for most things! On my bucket list is traveling the world, learning how to sail a boat, and one day, perhaps, managing to raise a garden in the southern Utah desert!
